ART AS A RELEASE OF FEELING

A way of describing art’s concerns and essence. We live in times in which facts count and feelings are suspect. You can regain trust in your gut instincts through the expressive body language of my symbolic figures

• as artistic companions in a dialogue with yourself (working with the psyche)
• as a stimulus to widen intuition and a concept of self
• as optical go-betweens to understand one’s role within a living context and to gain an objective view
• as substitutes for people or things in systematic interrelationship
• as symbolic counterparts in conflict-laden situations
• as creative aids to make backgrounds and beginnings visible and therefore understandable
• as anchors to develop strategies for problem solving and internalizing

ART: USEFUL AND DECORATIVE

• as a gift and bearer of feelings for another unique person
• as a visual go-between to give shape to feelings
• as decoration with individual strength of expression

SYMBOLIC FIGURES IN ART HISTORY

The history of humankind is closely linked with the history of the doll and figure. Since the dawn of history humans have represented themselves in the form of dolls and figures. They have always been our companions as

• Cult and votive sculptures
• Amulets and Talismans
• Magical figures and figures of idolatry
• Burial objects
• Objects of worship
• As education tools for children

These symbolic figures are a link to ancient traditions and values.
